Dyan Johnson

Hello! Are you overwhelmed, stressed out, angry, or maybe in a funk and not sure why? You are not alone! I work with many teens and young adults in the same boat and am excited to work with you to get yourself back on track and feeling good. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and Certified Case Manager with over 20 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings with a focus on the teen population since 2001 such as wilderness therapy programs, high schools/boarding schools and rehabilitation/psychiatric hospitals.

I enjoy helping teens and young adults up to 30-ish years of age find their own path and believe that everyone has many answers within themselves. Sometimes these answers are hard to find when life gets in the way. With some self reflection, new awareness and processing it's exciting to see how things can begin to change with some new perspective and development of new stories we tell ourselves. As a result of this work, our lives moving forward can be elevated and begin to move in the right direction. I am honored to help clients in their journey to find peace, inspiration and motivation to be the best they can be!

Please note for clients in the Truckee/Tahoe area option for in person (in addition to virtual)

I use a blend of dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused, strength based, holistic, mindfulness and others to fit the needs of the client and situation. I work with many clients who have symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues and more, I enjoy working with teenagers/young adults (up to 30yo) as they navigate the ever changing environments that they are living in. There are so many changes taking place all at once and it can be difficult to manage all of these moving parts in a peaceful and grounded way. As a result, anger, anxiety and depression symptoms amongst others can come out. Since mind body and soul are all connected we can be left feeling drained of energy or hopeless as a result. It is truly rewarding for me to help clients find their true selves underneath all of the stuff that gets in the way. I enjoy working as a team with my clients to find new energy, balance and to get on a new path towards success.

I would like to get to know you so in the first session I will ask some questions to find out more about you, what your challenges and goals are, and what you are hoping to get from our sessions. I also want to answer all of your questions so you can feel comfortable moving forward. I will also go over confidentiality and some other logistics. What will you will take away from our sessions? Likely some things to think about, some new insight and perspective, some tools/strategies, some peace and new excitement for your path ahead.
